"ME AND TEDDY WENT DEER-HUNTING!"

RESPONSE TO GENE'S POST
******************************
by Bobby Snipes, guest writer

 Gene's younger brother Lyle and I were football team mates in the class of 53.   Gene was a good football player; tell him I enjoyed his stories.  Talking about Teddy Blair….. Teddy was a cousin to Jack and Jean Williams, whose parents lived west of Ranchvale.  Teddy lived just west of you and me on Davis, I think.  Dad roped calves with James Williams almost every Sunday afternoon and Teddy and his sister, Betty, were out there quite often.  We rode calves, milked cows and played on the hay stack---we were always around Teddy----I went deer hunting with Teddy one weekend to Mosquero.   

We were hunting next to a game reserve and Teddy shot this deer but did not kill the deer instantly, and the deer jumped the fence and died inside the game reserve.  Well, we were scared to death.   We ran and lifted that deer on our shoulders and threw him over the fence.  We were panting and sweating and looking feverishly to see if anyone saw us.  We got that deer loaded and headed for Clovis.  What a hunt!   

Teddy was an outspoken witness for Jesus.  One time Teddy was telling me about his transporting prisoners.   He said that he would tell them about God and God's love.   He said that they had to listen-----they couldn't go anywhere. Teddy was a great friend.   Tell Gene thanks for bringing back some great memories  about Teddy Blair.
